Here’s what you need to comprehend about Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn’s famously intimate relationship, from dating secretly to writing songs together. Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” is now complete.
The Grammy-winning musician and British actor Joe Alwyn were first linked to each other in May 2017, when it was said that they had been dating quietly for months. Fans think that Swift and Alwyn first met at the 2016 Met Gala, although it’s unclear when they first met.
Since then, the couple has had some sweet moments in public, but they have kept much of their relationship private. Swift told The Guardian in a 2019 interview why she doesn’t like to talk about her relationship with Alwyn: “I’ve learned that if I do, people think it’s up for discussion, and our relationship isn’t up for discussion.”
Fans have seen a little bit of their sweet love story, though. Alwyn briefly appeared in Swift’s Miss Americana documentary, and the two wrote a few songs for Swift’s album Folklore together. Here is a complete timeline of Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn’s relationship, from the small ways they helped each other to the Grammy they won together.
On May 16, 2017, It Was First Said That Taylor Swift And Joe Alwyn Were Dating
In May 2017, The Sun said that Swift and Alwyn, 27 and 26 at the time, were dating. A source also told the news outlet that the two had been dating secretly for months before the news broke.
Swift added a diary entry to the deluxe version of her album Lover that seems to confirm this timeline. In a post from January 2017, she said, “I’m based in London, hiding out and trying to protect us from the nasty world that just wants to mess things up.” “We’ve been together for three months, and no one has found out.”
Even though it’s never been confirmed, many people think that Swift and Alwyn met at the 2016 Met Gala. This is primarily because of Swift’s song “Dress” lyrics from her album Reputation: “Flashback to when you met me/Your buzz cut/And my hair bleached.” At the 2016 event, Swift had bleached blonde hair, and Alwyn had a buzzcut.
Swift’s short-lived relationship with actor Tom Hiddleston ended in September 2016. The news of their relationship came eight months later.

“When I’m anxious, I can sometimes control who I am as a person, how normal I act, and how I think about things, but I can’t control what 20 photographers do in the bushes, if they follow our car, or if they mess up our lives,” Swift said. “I can’t stop the news from making up a fake weird story about us tomorrow.”
